chicken stalker... It is so hard to tell in a photo... We all have different monitors plus the camera changes things... They are hard to photograph.... Sorry.... can't even chime in a guess...

The best thing to do is to get the Marans Egg Color Chart and compare it to your eggs. You can just look at one on the computer and compare. That will probably give you a good idea of what # they are.

Cheepa has started laying again!! I caught her getting off the nest and there was a dark dark egg in there. She is the one who laid my avatar egg that is now a little roo. So I guess she is gonna keep laying dark

She is a BCM this is her as a pullet

This is her son from my avatar egg. Kinda of an old pic. Too bad his tail is coming in all high grrr. His copper looks really good now. I thought it would be mahogany because he was so dark when he was little but it is nice now I will try to chase him around and get more pics tomorrow. He thinks he rules the front porch and is a treathound.

Okay I will go take a pic of the new egg. This means I will have to delete sumpim in my uploads haha. I tried linking my photobucket pics to byc and couldn't get it right anyone know how?
